MTMTE #31 - Smartass Poisoning Edition

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

MTMTE #31 - Smartass Poisoning Edition

What can be said that hasn't already been said before so many times?

Ravage and Megatron, oh my oh my, something sneaky this way comes.

Just loved the way this episode unfolded. Bit a rough takedown of Nightbeat by Megatron.

The quantum engines are such a hilarious nod to the Infinite Improbability Drive.

Miss Milne's art tho.

Always miss Milne's art but the fill in wasn't bad.

Wondering if that messed up LL at the end is from the same future (or wherever) as Dead Roddy?

It's so good i find it hard to say much in a way - the brilliance speaks for itself.

Another great issue, yep.

I really wasn't keen on the art in the previews, but you know what - the writing in this issue was so damn good that I totally got over how much the art wasn't my thing.

I love the fact that when you analyse it, not a lot happens in this issue other than a really long conversation inside the Rod Pod. And yet the dialogue is enthralling - you never feel shortchanged by the fact that there's nought in the way of huge explosions or epic gunfights.

Can't wait for next issue now. Bring it on Roberts.

Wow, this one is hurting my brain!

Damn, I love this.

Can we just ******* give Roberts Robots In Disguise already? I can't stand having only one monthly dose of this.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Got all caught up on MTMTE (and Regeneration One) this week.

Holy ****. MTMTE is seriously the best possible argument for paying $4 for a comic book. It is so perfect in every appreciable way, I don't even know how to describe it. It is an absolute JOY to read every word that comes out Megatron's mouth. His interactions with literally *everyone* in the series are just beautiful. The way he talks to Optimus (who is ALSO written fantastically), Rodimus, and everybody else.

I've taken to reading Megatron's lines and imagining how different voice actors would have delivered them. (Beast Wars Megs is usually the most fitting, but G1 and Prime Megs are kinda excellent as well.)

Regeneration One was also good. Just not "life and/or hobby affirming" good.
